How waste coffee grounds could help fuel London buses

(Tech Xplore)—Across continents, people are concerned about how to address harmful CO2 emissions in the environment. Now there is news that some London buses will run on a biofuel partially made from old coffee grounds. The idea comes from a company called bio-bean. The company has a key premise for what they do: There is no such thing as waste, just resources in the wrong place.

Looking at the bigger picture, Shell said "By rethinking waste, we can continue to decrease emissions from the transport sector through innovations in second-generation biofuels."
